I am so sick. :barf:
I'm hoping the PC600 center might be there when I arrive home. Looking forward to checking it out. I'm trying to make headway in securing some PT800s, short of springing for the remans on Harman.Quote:

Though there's precious little difference in volume because each amp is not 10X more powerful than the one before it, there's an appreciable improvement in overall sound with more power.
Also, I don't know if the unit's been driven before, but I think several hours of use will either a) improve the speaker's performance as the diaphragms and surrounds get damped into shape, or 2) your ears will adjust and you'll think the speaker's improved. Mine were a bit unsatisfactory at first.
Good luck! If you hate it, PM me for a lowball offer to take it off your hands.
They did try to deliver it. I put the UPS tracking number in and discovered you can redirect the next delivery attempt, so it'll come to my work. Requires signature. "FROM" said JBL on the UPS form, so I have to think the box was the JBL box.
Power. 200??
Hmmm.
I haven't studied the manual again lately; is the center susceptible to damage from being fed below 80hz like the PT800??
The PC600 and PT800 are rated at exactly the same frequency response (80Hz-22kHz), sensitivity (91dB), and power handling (50-250W). However the crossover points are different, and JBL makes it plain in more than one place in the manual NOT to send frequencies below 80Hz to the PT800s. However, there is no reference that I can find that states the same thing about the PC600.Quote:

Yeah, I read the manual again, nothing mentioned on the PC600. I will set it at small, too, though. Should have it today. Next stop; perhaps a new receiver or pre, and an amp or too...and some damn PT800's.Quote:

I assume you are thinking it should have the same restriction? I know, maybe someone could ask the designer!!:DQuote:

No, the manual only mentions damage to the PT800 specifically.
Great! I noticed the disclaimer about the cloth in the auction, so no surprise there. I'm keen to know how you re-attach it and how satisfied you are afterward with the method you use.Quote:

BTW, what happened to the original purpose of this thread? Shouldn't we get back on topic?
